Bradstreet's shows a heavy mid
summer business and inerease confi

The spindles continue to come south,
and those already in the south aro
multiplying like Belgian hares.

They have even hanged one ex
member of the Tezas Legislature, yet
hundreds of mon all over the country
every election year aro burning up
with a desire to become legislators.
The meanest citizen has at last been
discovered. He told his wife he
would give her a surprise if she would
learn how to cook. She did and he
aurpriscd her by discharging tho cook.
Ono of the mobt unusual things
Kansas has ever produced is the pres
ent governor of the State. In his po
litical campaign he promised to get
married if elected. Ho has kept tho
promise.
Uncle Sam is paying his debts at
the rate of $3,000,000 a month and
atill the surplus is accumulating.
Unless some new device is contrived
for spending money, the tariff must
eventually bo lowered.
It is reported that the internal trade
of the United States holds its own.
There is no falling off in comparison
with last year. More cotton and wheat
was received. Lumber has fallen off
some and live stock inoreased.

A University of Chioago savant has
discovered that men aro more emo
tional than women. We can't sub
soribe to this as a general proposition,
but it's true at house-cleaning time
and when the milliner's bill is pre
sented.
A statue to cost $40,000 is to be
ereoted in New York City to William
the Silent. No mau nowadays gains
by silence enough prominence to en
title him to a monument. Modern
fame is attained mainly by the exer
cise of the "gift of gab."
President Eliot, of Harvard, hear
tily approves the statement that any
of us oan get along without woalth,
and ex-Seoretary of the Navy Long

fully resigned. _
Tho Georgia Legislature, by a large
vote, has killed the bill which had as
its purpose the apportionment of the
school fund between whites and blacks
according to the amount paid by each.
Such measures have been defeated
generally in the South whenever they

Pope Leo XIII, the head of the
Catholic Church of the world, died in
Borne, Italy, last Monday, at the ripe
age of 93 years. Hie deatb had been
expeoted at any hour for a . week or
moro. He had served as tho supreme
pontiff of his Church for more than
twenty-five years, and a great and
good man has gone to his reward.
The reports that have come in from
the different parts o! the State during
the past few days as to the condition
of the ' growing cotton crop are very
encouraging. Thirty days ago tho
prospect was very poor, indeed, but
the recent rains and hot weather have
brought out the orop wonderfully, and
many of the /armers are expocting a
big yield.

Gov. Hey ward, with the aid of some
of the best business men from every
section of the State, is making good
progress towards getting up an exhib
it for the State at the World's Fair at
St. Louis. The last Legislature re
fused to appropriate anything for it,
but we hope that the exhibits that the
different counties had at the Char
leston Exposition may be added to un
til tho exhibit will be creditable to
the State.
President Hiss, of the Amerioan
Cotton Manufacturer's Association,
ie quoted as saying that by September
the number of idle spindles dependent
upon American cotton would proba
bly reaoh 30,000,000. This m*sns ap
proximately five hundred thousand
people will be thrown out of employ
ment and that $900,000,000 of capital
will be temporarily idle. AU this, is
due to the fictitious value given raw
cotton by the speculators who are
manipulating tho markets. If the
high prices were benefiting anybody
save the speculators, there would be
leso cause for dissatisfaction; but the
farmers are not being benefited and
thousands of wage eaners are being
seriously injured.

Thc announcement that thc South
ern Railway will double-track its road
from Atlanta to Washington, at a to
tal cost of $25,000,000, including bet
terments along tho line, is a weloomc
one. This improvement has been
needed for some time, and the in
creased traffic wijl be handled o? the
double traok with a facility and dis
patch heretofore impossible. The
new trsok will be indeed a splendid
highway, opening up the South to a
free communication with the outside
world undreamed of in the days of the
first railroad. Truly, the Southern
Railway is doing a great work for the
South. _______
Corner Creek News.
Yes, we know it has been a long
time since the readers of the Intelli
gencer have heard from old Corner
Creek section. )iut we farmers have
been kept quite busy, hence we have
not had time to gather news. "Tyro"
has been silent in the press, but, ah!
my dear readers, we have been hust
ling elsewhere.
Now we are not going to chronic!;
any great thin? this week, for there is
nothing doing in theso parts juet at
this time. Nc marriages or deaths end
not much sickness.
The farmers only like a few days
more of toil in the sunshine and they
will be through with their crops 'till
gathering time.
Our crops are very good, and, of
course, if seasons continue we expect
to make just as good a crop as any of
the preceding years. All of this talk
about a fifty or sixty per cent crop is
bosh and imaginary. Some people
want to cross the bridge before they
getto it, or, in other words, like the
oldwoman counting the chick's beforo
they are hatched.
Slr. Dudley Carwile, of tho "Lone

Miss Varena Shirley is visiting her

J. A. Pinson and J. A. Mayfield each
have a sick child, but they are getting
along very well at this writing.
Miss Lunie Wright has been elected
teacher of the McAdams school for the
ensuing term. She is a recent gradu
ate of the Greenville Female College,
and will doubtless make an excellent
teacher.
